<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Just sending a note to the list to inquire as to how many BC
members will be on the Registry call that is starting now? Perhaps our
Secretriat could pull together a list for everyone’s benefit?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Separately, in preparation for this call I was going through
the filings and came to realize (again) that that there are 637 .BRANDS from
the 1900. Many of them are brands we know and some are BC members. Others
we don’t know…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Question for the Ex Com: Would it not make sense to
invite the .BRANDS to come to meet the BC in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Beijing</st1:place></st1:City>? For my part, it would be
extremely helpful to hear from them and to have an opportunity to learn more. Perhaps
we could invite them for the CSG breakfast on Tuesday, if guests have not
already been scheduled for that meeting slot. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>It seems to me that BC members would benefit greatly from
meeting with businesses that are applying for top-level domains.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
